D. If previously installed operating systems are found on disk partitions that were not overwritten, then an attempt is made to configure the bootloader to be able to boot them.
E. The bootloader is installed by default in the first partition of the disk.

Answer: A,E

Explanation: A (not C): Linux boot process from hard drive:
1. PC initializion phase - BIOS, POST.
2. PC starts boot loader - usually grub or lilo.
3. The bootloader locates kernel image on the hard drive.
4. The kernel decompresses and loads itself. Once finished it tries to mount the root filesystem. 5.

[root @FAROUT /] # chkconfig - - list firstboot
Firstboot 0:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6;off
[root@FAROUT /] # /etc/sysconfig/firstboot
RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO

What is the conclusion?

A. The option to run firstboot was deselected during Oracle Linux installation.
B. The system was installed with desktop graphical packages and rebooted and the firstboot utility ran successful.
C. Firstboot never ran in any run level because the service is turned off for all run levels.
D. The system was installed without selecting desktop graphical packages, thereby disabling firstboot from running.

Answer: A

Explanation: Firstboot is set to off for all levels.

Example:
The rm command below remove or delate the firstboot file in order to make sure the firstboot
program running when we restart or reboot the Fedora machine.
[root@fedora ~]# rm /etc/sysconfig/firstboot
rm: remove regular file `/etc/sysconfig/firstboot'? y
[root@fedora ~]#
Then check and make sure that firstboot program or firstboot service is run when your Fedora
startup/boot up.
Check firstboot services
[root@fedora ~]# chkconfig --list firstboot
firstboot 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
[root@fedora ~]#

Explanation
https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/farel12/scmcs_gs/FAMML/FAMML1153520.htm#FAMML1153513
Warehouse Operations Key Performance Indicators: Explained
Key performance indicators (KPIs) measure how well an organization or individual performs an operational, tactical, or
strategic activity that is critical for the current and future success of the organization.
The Warehouse Operations Dashboard contains the following KPIs:
Inventory Value
Hit or Miss Accuracy
Exact Matches Rate
Inventory Value
The Inventory Value KPI shows the total value of inventory owned by your organization. The KPI indicates whether the
material is physically available in the warehouse or if the material is in transit. The KPI report enables you to compare
the inventory value for a selected time period with the prior year's inventory value for that same time period. You can
also compare inventory value by inventory categories.
Hit or Miss Accuracy
The Hit or Miss Accuracy KPI shows the percentage of the cycle count that falls within the hit and miss tolerances of a
total cycle count. This KPI provides the rate of hits during the cycle counting process. The KPI report enables you to
compare the hit or miss accuracy for a selected time period with the prior year's hit or miss accuracy for that same time period.
Exact Matches Rate
The Exact Matches Rate KPI shows the exact match entries as a percentage of the total cycle count entries. An exact
match entry is an entry where the counted quantity entered is the same as the system quantity. The rate of exact match
entries obtained during the cycle count is called Exact Matches Rate. The KPI report enables you to compare the exact
matches rate for a selected time period with the prior year's exact matches rate for that same time period.

QUESTION 3
You have set up min-max planning at the subinventory level with the following to source item AS12312 for Organization: M1:

A. Supply order is generated with exceptions.
B. Preparer is not valid.
C. The Sourcing rule is incorrect.
D. No Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) exists for this supplier-item combination.
E. Buy requests originate from Order Management.

Answer: A
